Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB
menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the
whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual
pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you
can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of
programs that read /etc/os-release.
This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want
from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and
/etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths,
GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on.

‘When upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes
otherwise you’ll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a
wrong commandline option. if you run a server that needs to support both
old and new clients, it is suggested that you have a “borg-0.28.2” and a
“borg-0.29.0” command. clients then can choose via e.g. “borg
–remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...”.’
‘The default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second
for a better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access
is currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error
message. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer
time, use –lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).’

Last bumped Feb 2012. Broken since 2013. Upstream conflicted about whether
it's dead or not. Visited the (read-only) forums which are 93% teenagers
yelling how something called BeamNG is(n't) better so I regret that now.
